The Jackson Blanket

With the arrival of many, many babies over the past few weeks, I've finally found the time to get a new pattern down on paper, and alive on the needles. It's a combination of my absolute favourite things - grey, yellow and chevrons. And I'm giving it to you for free!

I am fairly new to knitting, but have learning more and more. I love this pattern, my daughter saw this and said that this is the type of baby blanket she would like me to make. I feel like I’m making something complicated looking, but it is very easy. However, I have one question: My edges from the first 3 or 4 rows, is curling up. Will it eventually straighten itself out once the added rows weigh it down, or is there something else I should do? I have completed about 24 rows so far.
Any comments are appreciated.
